Holy Waiting: Prayers at your Table on the Vigil of Easter
Praying together on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter, is one of the ancient treasures of Christian worship. It can be a great opportunity to form faith, teach tradition, and build community with your family or neighbors. The prayerful reflection below offers some suggestions for home prayers as we await the Resurrection. Consider ways for all participants to take turns being the leader.
Before you begin, you will need: a candle, matches/lighter, a Bible, and a bowl with some water in it.
